Despite the supremacy of the Khans, Akshay Kumar, and Ajay Devgn in Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan has carved out a place for himself. The actor has taken countless risks with his screenplays over the course of a career spanning more than two decades, and thankfully, the most of them have paid off handsomely. One such movie is Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which according to the friends of his father Rakesh Roshan was no less than a risky undertaking.
ZNMD has been available for 12 years as of yesterday. It is one of the best buddy movies to come out of the Indian film industry and special for a number of reasons. In addition to receiving favorable reviews, ZNMD was a movie office hit. To this day, fans continue to call for a sequel, and we share their desire. But before all this happened, Hrithik‘s close ones warned him about signing the film.
Hrithik Roshan said, “I remember when I signed this film on, a lot of my father’s friends were very concerned about me out of sheer love for me. They thought I was making a big mistake because I was playing one of the parts among three characters, and it was certainly not the central character. It wasn’t like I was the hero of the film and Farhan and Abhay were small parts of the film.”
Hrithik Roshan further added, “The general rule at that time was that you have to uphold the star status, and I knew this film was talking about exactly the opposite. It kind of empowered me because it’s a story that I believed in, and I thought, ‘to hell with the status’, which is merely something that people give you. The work that you do is something that comes out of your own desire.”
Well, we’re lucky that Hrithik Roshan joined Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and gave us a memorable character like Arjun.
